GEINS'T NAÏT Fishes
Geins't Naït was founded in Nancy, France, in 1986 by Thierry Merigout and Vincent Hachet, both students at the Architecture School of Nancy. A year later Laurent Petitgrand joined the band. Their sound is often described as an equivalent of bands like Einstürzende Neubauten, Coil or Test Dept., but Geins't Naït is not pure classic Industrial. While Geins't Naït offers rough pieces of music as an extension of its punk attitude, Petitgand refines them to create some musicality within the post-industrial collages, adding guitars, piano, and classical instruments. Geins't Naït and Laurent Petitgand sharpen sounds, giving them a kind of balance and density and ensuring that the musical language evokes a deep experience. Their music is raw and fascinating, and largely influenced by Surrealists and Situationists. Their early albums were released by French label Permis De Construire, with Fishes being the band's fifth album, originally released in 1989. It features fifteen tracks which have been carefully remastered for this first ever CD re-issue by Martin Bowes. Full tracklist: 1. Ne Quittez Pas 2. Sandra 3. Rase Mottes 4. Lavabo Birthday 5. Intermezzo 6. Eurovision 7. Freezer 8. Revenir 9. Vichy 10. China 11. Il Etait Fou 12. Nefer Neferou 13. Lisa Cafe 14. Hi Here Is Elvis 15. Une Petite. Price: € 19,-/copy incl. worldwide shipping.
Najciekawsze efekty duet osiąga jednak, gdy tworzy fantazyjnie rozbudowane nagrania, utkane z syntezatorowych dźwięków i preparowanych loopów. To właściwie swego rodzaju słuchowiska, w których sample starych francuskich piosenek splatają się z dziwacznymi głosami i mechanicznymi rytmami. Trochę to przypomina późne nagrania Holy Toy czy Nurse With Wound – a przykładem tego utwory Nefer Neferou – Lisa Cafe i Une Petite, które wieńczą płytę w wyjątkowo oryginalnym stylu.

The album is a strange and heady mix of industrial-to-electro fired beats and tones, dada-focused soundscaping, and cryptic-to-unsettling field recordings/samples. (...) Geinst Naït certainly have their own quirky flare & charm within the European post-industrial/experimental electro scene, and Id love to hear more of it! ()
